Wireless sensor networks are extensively used to monitor field in medical, military, industrial, agricultural and environmental application. There are many sensor nodes in these networks and these nodes have limited resources. In addition, these sensor nodes become unusable when they run out of energy due to the lack of recharging feature. Efficient use of energy consumption is one of the most important working areas in these networks. The clustering approach divides the area where the nodes are distributed into clusters and selects a cluster head for each cluster. The cluster head collects the data detected from the sensor nodes in the cluster, combines it and transmits it to the base station. Clustering reduces energy consumption and extends the life of the network.In this study, grid-based clustering was performed and the node with the most neighbors was chosen as the cluster head. When the cluster head energy decreases, the node with the most secondary neighbors in the related cluster is selected as the cluster head. The proposed method was implemented in the MATLAB simulation environment. When the findings obtained in the study are examined, it has been observed that the proposed method has a much longer life than the networks created without clustering and the energy consumption in the sensor nodes is made efficient.
